The Citizen, 1991-10-30, Page 3People Tempting Justin Sauve was one of the Blyth Cubs, Beavers and Scouts who were selling apples on Blyth streets Saturday for Boy Scout Apple Day.

Michelle Cook of Seaforth, daughter of Raymond and Barb Cook and granddaughter of Lillian Riehl, won the draw for a beautiful quilt, on display at the Thresher­ men's banquet held on Oct. 18. The Legion Ladies Auxiliary, Branch 402, were the caterers and the crafters of the quilt. There are no better fundraisers in our community than these ladies, not so large in THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1991. PAGE 3. numbers, but mighty in work capa­ bility and community concern. On Oct. 22 at the Blyth arena, Blake Hesselwood, three year old son of Ken and Luann Hesselwood, experienced a nasty accident on his very first day on ice skates. He fell and broke his leg, despite the fact that his parents were giving him gentle assistance and wise instruc­ tions. Blake is in traction in St. Joseph's hospital, London and although he is making good progress, he will remain there for some time. For him, this year, there will be no Hal­ loween fun with his brother and other playmates in Blyth, but it will be centered about his hospital bed in the children's division of St. Joseph's. The Citizen staff and readers send very best wishes for a happy convalescence. Another fracture to report - a left wrist this time - that of Jean Tasker. She and husband Lloyd were busy with details in the clos­ ing of their Amberley summer home on Lake Huron, when Jean fell and fractured her wrist severe­ ly. After her retirement from her position at Huronview, just days ago, she probably thought each day from now on, might be an easier one. Lloyd, Jean, wrist cast and all left as early as yesterday for their winter home in Lakeland, Florida. May their trip be a smooth one! Their many friends in Blyth and community regret the fact that henceforth they will see very little of these fine people. Lloyd and Jean will be greatly missed in our village, their home for many years.
